This decade is coming to an end so I thought I would put together a list of the best & worst movies from the last 10 years, in my opinion. Boy was it hard!
Movies are a major part of my life. Always have been. Now that this decade is over, I thought it might be fun to put together a list of my favorite movies. Now, keep in mind this last decade was a busy one for me. I had two kids, which we all know impacts what movies you can watch. Of course I have, since then, gone back and watched a lot that I missed.
This was the hardest list to do because I forced myself to choose just one favorite movie for each year, one least favorite, and then only 5 honorable mentions. It took me a long time, and my list changed often. I finally decided to just go with my initial thoughts.

Awesome list! I came across a link to this through Pinterest and I’m glad I found it. The Dark Knight Rises was my favorite film of 2012 as well, a truly wonderful epic that just so happened to have Batman in it. I’ve also recently been getting into Harry Potter again, so I’m glad to see Deathly Hallows Part 2 love here.
